Myth # 2: Red incites aggression, green is
calming
The research indicating that the color red incites
aggression, green is calming and yellow stimulates
the intellect is simplistic and outdated. Hundreds, if
not thousands, of schools, hospitals and prisons
were painted light green (thought to induce calm)
in the middle of the 20th century, with the result
that this perfectly good color family was tainted as
an “institutional kiss of death” by the 1980s and
90s. All colors have a place for learners of all ages,
when used thoughtfully. A good application
depends on the cultural and climatic context,
available resources and lighting.
